The Quiet Island with Silent Exploitation
Alameda seems perfect - a quiet island with Victorian houses, tree-lined streets, and families strolling down Park Street. But behind this postcard image is another reality: Latino workers cleaning those perfect houses for minimum wage, cooks in Park Street restaurants without overtime, construction workers at Alameda Point without protection.
I'm Arlo Uriarte from Liberation Law Group. Although Alameda seems like a world apart, it's only 20 minutes from our San Francisco office. I have represented workers from the former Naval Air Station, employees of Alameda Hospital, and victims of exploitation in Park Street restaurants.
If you work in Alameda, live in Alameda, or cross the dangerous tunnels every day for work, you deserve justice just like any worker in Oakland or San Francisco.

Expanded Frequently Asked Questions - Alameda
Is it different to sue in Alameda because it is an island?
Legally no, practically yes:
- Jury pool includes island residents (more conservative)
- "Small town" pressure exists
- Everyone knows each other = intimidation
- But also = more witnesses
Advantage: Cases go to Oakland court, not local.
What if I work on Coast Guard Island?
Federal employment = different rules:
- Federal Workers' Comp (FECA)
- EEOC for discrimination
- Federal Tort Claims Act
- Sovereign immunity issues
BUT more protections in some cases. You need a lawyer with federal experience.
Do Victorian houses cause special employment issues?
Absolutely. If you work in:
- Cleaning: Lead paint exposure
- Construction/renovation: Asbestos guaranteed
- Maintenance: Falls from high structures
- Moving: Narrow stairs = injuries
Homeowners insurance is good in Alameda. We maximize recovery.
How does the closure of the Naval Air Station affect things?
Alameda Point = environmental disaster:
- Radioactive waste
- Asbestos everywhere
- Lead contamination
- Chemical exposure
If you work in development/construction there, the employer must provide extra protection. They don't.
Why does Park Street have so many employment issues?
Park Street = tourist destination but:
- Restaurants compete = cut corners
- Diagonal parking = delivery dangers
- Constant events = overwork
- "Quaint" image = exploitation hidden
Can I sue Alameda Hospital if I work for a contractor?
Yes, joint employer doctrine:
- If the hospital controls your work
- If they benefit from your labor
- If they supervise directly
We sue both - more recovery.
What about workers at marijuana dispensaries?
Legal in California BUT:
- Cash business = wage theft
- Security risks without protection
- Federal vs state law confusion
- Discrimination for medical use
Unique but winnable cases.
Do ferries and the marina have special rules?
Maritime work = special laws:
- Jones Act for seamen
- Longshore Act for dock workers
- Maritime law is federal
- Damages can be more
